393 It’s Difficult to Take Care of Children

It was very easy for a village to become poor. They only needed a simple natural disaster or man-made disaster to cause the village to fall into a difficult situation.

However, it was extremely difficult to make a village rich.

Otherwise, the Imperial Court wouldn’t have failed to restore the Great Chang Nation to its most prosperous state after more than ten years.

To pull a village out of poverty within a year, was simply a nearly impossible task.

“It’s said that the village is surrounded by mountains on three sides and by water on the other. It’s a place where dragons are hidden and natural energy gathered. It’s the most suitable place for retirement.

Previously, I was also fortunate enough to know about the treasures offered from their village. The taste of their food lingers on my tongue even now.”

At this point, Madam Qin sighed with emotion. “A school has been established in the village. The nearby villages have all sent their children there. It’s said that there are more than 100 children and they’re crying for knowledge right now. However, there aren’t any respected teachers nearby who can teach them.

Our Great Chang is currently at the age of withering talent. If there’s no fresh blood to replenish it, the country might decline. But this village actually has the intention to save itself. The villagers are very enlightened and want to let their children study and learn to read. In the future, they will be able to stand tall and bring glory to the country.” Madam Qin sighed and waved her hand. “Sigh, I shouldn’t have said so much to the two of you. You’ve already retired and are returning to your hometown. You should rest well and recuperate. Leave the rest to those people in the Imperial Court to think about. It doesn’t matter since the poor families can’t produce n.o.ble children. As long as the children of the ministers in the Imperial Court can continue to be well-respected, they’re not afraid that there will be a lack of officials. Perhaps after they swallow the salary of the Imperial Court, no matter how shameless they are, they should remember to benefit the people—”

The old minister in front hurriedly bowed. “Madam, Madam, that’s biased! I think that if a poor student can have such a state of mind, they’re naturally worthy of support. Didn’t the Tian Family also say that we have to accept talents widely and not be restricted to any place? However, if the students in the village don’t have an orthodox learning path, they won’t even be able to qualify for the Imperial Examination. Even if they want to bring glory to the country, they won’t be able to.”

“That’s true. The teachers in those villages are at most county scholars. What they can teach is at most at the county scholar level.” The other minister stroked his beard and thought for a moment before saying, “If Madam can be so worried about the country and people, how can we stand by and do nothing! Madam, tell the two of us where the village is. The two of us will go and take a look and see if it’s as Madam said.”

Madam Qin smiled and took a sip of tea.

She thought to herself, That’s good.

Qin Huai, who was in Wanning City, suddenly sensed something and looked north.

“Are the peach blossoms outside blooming?” Qin Huai put down the book in his hand and rubbed his nose, his tone a little hoa.r.s.e.

He had been studying and practicing martial arts for several days in a row. Even if his body was made of iron, he was a little tired.

Beside him, Chi Jia hurriedly replied, “Young Master, you forgot that it was only the Flower Festival two days ago. During the Flower Festival, the fragrance of peach blossoms filled the sky. The peach blossoms naturally bloomed.”

“The peach blossoms have all bloomed.” Qin Huai’s eyes were filled with nostalgia.

He casually picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip before asking, “Is Madam coming back?”

Chi Jia shook his head. “It’s such a long journey. It’ll take a lot of time to go back and forth. How can she be back now? Young Master, are you tired? Do you want to rest?”

Qin Huai did not respond and changed the topic. “How’s the matter I asked you to do?”

“I’ve already gotten someone to publish Young Master’s article and distribute it to the book bureaus of the various cities and counties. The number of books printed in w.a.n.gbei County has doubled,” Chi Jia said. “In addition, I specially sent more than ten high-quality storytellers to Yongding County’s county city and Nanhe Town. I guarantee that the people there will hear about Young Master’s deeds and know about your literary talent. Miss Ah Yu likes to listen to stories, so she will definitely be able to hear it.”

Qin Huai glared at him. “When did I give you such instructions?”

“I acted on my own. Please forgive me, Young Master.” Chi Jia admitted readily.

He thought to himself that now that the Young Master had grown a year older, he seemed to have become more ambitious.

He wanted his friend to remember him, and felt that it was not enough to just write letters. So, he decided to take a big detour.

At the mention of books, Qin Huai recalled that the letter he had received from Little Ah Yu said that she wanted to open a women’s academy in the future.

In Great Chang, and even the entire continent.

These were all especially unorthodox things.

However, at the thought that if she knew that this matter could not be done, her round face would definitely be filled with sadness, right?

That won’t be cute.

“Chi Jia, if we want to establish a women’s academy, what difficulties do we have to overcome?” Qin Huai suddenly asked.

Chi Jia: “Young Master, you’re making things difficult for me.”

How could he make a.s.sumptions about something that was not allowed to exist?

“There’s only the two of us here. You don’t have to be restrained. Tell me.”

“This… In our Great Chang, women’s academies are not allowed.”

Qin Huai: “It’s written into the Great Chang Nation’s laws?”

“No.” Recently, Chi Jia had been reading the laws of the Great Chang Kingdom with Qin Huai. After flipping through it, there was no rule that women could not open an academy.

This was because the group of people who wrote the law did not think of this at all.

“Isn’t that right? As long as we shut up those who don’t agree, it will be allowed?” Qin Huai walked to the door of the study and looked at the blue sky and white clouds in front of him. He said meaningfully, “Or, if we can get the person at the top to agree, no one else can refuse?”

For example, the w.a.n.g Family that Qin Huai saw was like this. Even if the entire w.a.n.g Family did not understand Old Madam w.a.n.g’s words, they would listen.

Also, in order to coax her, the w.a.n.g Family would listen to Little Ah Yu as long as it was not something bad.

This meant that if one wanted to do something, one had to have enough authority to make others have no choice but to obey.

Or he could make himself a person loved by tens of thousands of people. As long as it did not involve their interests, they would naturally listen blindly.

Chi Jia knelt on the ground. “Young Master, be careful with your words!”

These words sounded like he was about to rebel.

Even if their Crimson Guards used up all their resources and threw all their lives away, they could not complete such a heaven-defying task!

“I’m not even afraid. What are you afraid of?” Qin Huai returned to the desk and rubbed his wrist. He picked up his pen and began to write.

“Don’t you want to rest for a while, Young Master?” Chi Jia’s heart ached for him.

“Why should I rest? I’ll be taking the imperial provincial examination next year and the imperial civil service examination the year after. If I want to see the Tian Family, I have to be in the top three. There’s not much time left for me.” After Qin Huai finished speaking, he buried his head in writing.

Chi Jia: “…”

So they were not going to rebel. That was good, that was good.

But Young Master, aren’t your words a little too arrogant?

In the history of Great Chang, the youngest top scorer of the imperial civil service examination was also 17 years old!

The year after tomorrow, you will only be ten years old.

He had become a county scholar at the beginning of the year and his ranking was not low. However, the Young Master seemed to be a little arrogant.

Just as he was worried, someone sent an urgent report over. It was someone who specially sent messages between Little Ah Yu and Qin Huai.

It was still a letter and a small cloth bag.

The bag was wrapped with beautiful leaves and there was a round fruit inside.

He had never seen it before.

Qin Huai only knew what it was after reading a stack of letters.

Little Ah Yu called it a smart fruit and said that he would become smarter after eating it.

Silly girl, she even believed this.

Without another word, Qin Huai threw it into his mouth and chewed it.

Chi Jia: “Young Master, what are you eating?”

He didn’t even wash it first!

Qin Huai: “This is the top scorer fruit. You’ll definitely be able to become the top scorer after eating it!”

Chi Jia: “…”

The Young Master must be possessed.

He was not even dating Ah Yu now.

In the future, when he grew up and fell in love, he did not know what it would be like!

It was difficult to take care of children.

Chi Jia felt a headache.
